Matondo 'set for Coventry City switch' as finer Rangers transfer exit details emerge

Rabbi Matondo is reportedly on the verge of leaving Rangers to join Coventry City.

The Welsh winger, 24, is expected to depart Ibrox this month after being told he was free to leave the club.

Matondo was recently left out for Rangers in the Scottish Premiership match against Aberdeen in a "sporting choice" from Philippe Clement.

A report by Coventry Live claims Matondo is ready to join Frank Lampard's Championship side on an initial loan for the remainder of the 2024/25 season.

Then, there will be an option to buy the winger for a fee in the region of £2m in the summer.

Norwich City, Sheffield Wednesday, Sunderland and clubs in Serie A have all been credited with an interest in Matondo.

However, it appears a deal for the winger to join Coventry is close with his time at Rangers set to draw to a close having been first signed by Giovanni van Bronckhorst in the summer of 2022.

 "Leaving out [Rabbi] was a sporting choice," said Clement of the winger's absence against Aberdeen earlier this month. "The two young lads who were on the bench [Lovelace and Rice] are performing for the moment better. 

"Oscar would've been on the bench but he had a small problem yesterday evening, not in training. We need to assess that in the next couple of days."
